Why is the 4th file extension named North Cumberland trails.TBD instead of North Cumberland trails.TYP ? That one thing I see different. And I don't even have a file named 11111212.img something is screwy with your file names. Where did you get them from?

FYI, anyone reading this Jackal was right. Rename the .TYP file to North Cumberland Trails v2.3.typ (instead of 23NCumbe.typ) and the trail colors will work. Both files have to have the same name, one being a .IMG file and the other being .TYP.

Is there a reason the GPS function isn’t working? Before I get to far into this, I figured I better ask. I’m clueless when it comes to Android. Has there been some kind of change on the new kindle fire hd 8’s that won’t support this app anymore?

I went to the kindle loaded map app and the GPS is working properly. I even loaded the previous version of oruxmaps to try that. I don’t have google play installed yet as I’ve just started messing with this. Any ideas?

Did you turn the GPS tracking function on within the app itself , Upper right hand corner little pop up menu are the top 3 buttons

Also after you turn on GPS tracking then you can enable GPS logging were record your track and you can save them delete him etc. for a each time you go out as all control within the menus on the upper right corner this have to read the PDF file on the user Manual

I'm not certain kindle fires support GPS with all apps (or at all) anymore

Looking at your screenshot, you need to close all apps. Then go into settings, the gear icon, then select device, there all hardware options should be available (screen brightness, GPS on off, etc.)


It's not the program, the device has it off to save battery power and privacy settings.

I'm pretty sure Samsung manufactures the Kindle for Amazon. Just like the iPhone's, even thought Foxconn assembled them most parts are actually manufactured by Samsung. It's really the software that sets them apart, on the 8" models the Sammy and kindle have the same screen resolution. For GPS purpose each is 6x overkill powerwise. So really boils down to battery life length and what makes you feel better.

Location services is the only option I have for controlling gps features.. I've gone thru the whole settings menu. So I have everything I can find on the tablet to allow for outside apps and location (gps) functions.. On.. But when I try to turn gps on in the oruxmaps I get the prompt. So is that where/why Google play is needed?
